Bobst M1 Press Installed At APR Demo Center Expanding its role in the narrow web industry, All Printing Resources (APR) has installed a Bobst M1 flexo label press at the company’s Glendale Heights, Illinois, technical center.APR’s technical center is the only demo facility for Bobst narrow web presses in North America. The new, 14-inch, eight-color Bobst press is de- signed for high-definition flexo jobs requiring fastest changeover. The shortened web path results in mini- mum waste, set-up times and high registration toler- ances, according to the manufacturer. The M1 press comes with Bobst’s SnowBall con- verting technology, said to minimize matrix breaks during production due to the short distance between stripping and rewinding. The APR demo press also showcases Bobst’s Laser Set 360 degree pre-register and automatic registration system.
